Lahore High Court suspended the detention order against alleged 26/11 Mumbai attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi on Thursday, and ordered his immediate release.
Lakhvi, 55, has been accused of planning the deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai in November 2008, which claimed 166 lives in the heart of India's business capital.
Justice Muhammad Anwarul Haq suspended Lakhvi's detention after the government failed to present sensitive records against him in the court.
"The law officer had submitted important information about Lakhvi, but the court did not accept this and declared the evidence unsatisfactory," an official of LHC told PTI.
The Indian government says it has submitted several dossiers of evidence against Lakhvi to the Pakistan government.
Lakhvi was granted bail in December, a day after 148 people, including 132 children, were killed in deadly attack on a school in Peshawar carried out by the Pakistani Taliban. Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had vowed to root out terrorism as his country mourned the loss of innocent lives.
